From 2019:
B2 and ALU retrotransposons are self-cleaving ribozymes whose activity is enhanced by EZH2.
Science has a fairly good idea about how Earth's life could have started, but recreating that process has remained elusive. Now, another step in the chain appears to be coming into view.

Un passo significativo verso la comprensione dell'origine della vita: un team di ricerca è riuscito a ottenere una parziale autoreplicazione dell'RNA in laboratorio. Lo studio illumina i possibili meccanismi che hanno dato il via all'evoluzione molecolare.
15 ist die Ordnungszahl von #Phosphor und das chemische Element ist P.
Übrigens sind Phosphorverbindungen für alle #Lebewesen essenziell, also auch den #Kaffee. Es ist ein Bestandteil in der #DNA, #RNA und #ATP.
